'The actor has been chosen?!'
The remaining actors in the waiting room looked at each other. As professional actors, many of them had no idea what kind of expression they should be showing.
They had memorized the script for an hour, they had drunk 2 cans of energy drinks and now the worker said that the actor had been chosen?
"It's over?" Ah Cheng, who stood at the front of the group, stared blankly at the worker. He almost swallowed the chewing gum in his mouth. "We haven't even started, how can it be over? We haven't even started yet! "
Many people would go through three stages after suffering a sudden blow. Disbelief, doubt, and finally, slowly accept their fate.
Ah Cheng was in the first stage. He took a few steps forward and the worker was so scared that he did not dare enter the room.
"The actor that has been chosen is Han Fei, the first one to start. Actually, the director had high hopes for him from the beginning. In fact, one of the main reasons why Director Zhang came to Xin Lu was because of him." The worker tried to console Ah Cheng, hoping that he would be able to accept the situation.
However, he did not expect Ah Cheng's face to turn red after hearing his words of consolation.
"Didn't you just say that no matter who is chosen, you'll be happy for him?" The worker noticed the change in everyone's expression and he did not dare to say anything else. "Then … the lights are going to go off in a bit. If there's nothing else, please leave. We're going to clean up."
"That's impossible! Something must have gone wrong, why did it have to be him? A supporting character? A supporting character that I won't even look at. " Ah Cheng gripped the script in his hands. He did not turn to look at the other actors in the room. His face was purple like he had been slapped several times.
"Ah Cheng, we'll still have a chance in the future …" Wu Li's heart ached for Ah Cheng. He wanted to console the man but once he opened his mouth, Ah Cheng grabbed the script and left.
The people in the waiting room looked at each other. They would only add to the awkwardness if they stayed. They each came up with an excuse and left the theatre.
…
Han Fei walked home alone. He did not care about what the other young actors in the waiting room thought, he was just trying to walk his own path.
"The pay for a cinema movie is indeed not ordinary. After Director Zhang and the rest pay me in advance, I'll be able to buy a gaming capsule."
Being an actor was like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses. Before becoming famous, all of the income added together was not as much as the amount of work they had to do. They had to endure the most supercilious looks and suffer the most hardships. It was difficult to get any returns for all the hard work they put in. In the end, 90% of actors would choose to give up and leave the industry.
However, things would be different after they became famous. Once they became famous, their income would increase many times over.
From the moment his name appeared on the ranking, his life started to change.
Han Fei was quite excited to be able to participate in Director Zhang's movie, and it was one of the most important roles.
But all the excitement disappeared the moment he stepped into the house.
Looking at the gaming helmet on the table, a bitter smile appeared on Han Fei's face. "Who knows, I might end up on the papers tomorrow. A certain new actor died of a heart attack at home while gaming."
No matter how beautiful the future was, one had to be able to live to see it.
Han Fei realized after obtaining the gaming helmet, his life had really changed. He started to look forward to tomorrow, to the future, to living on.
"Humans are really strange creatures. Before they lose something, they don't cherish it at all. They are muddle-headed and waste their time. But when there's a time limit on one's life, people will do everything they can just to live another 24 hours. '
Reaching out to touch the Healing tab on the gaming helmet, Han Fei felt like his life was already tied to this game.
'Is there really such a thing as a perfect life in this world?'
The clock on the wall ticked. Han Fei adjusted his mental state. He found the layout of Yi Ming Private Academy's infirmary online and memorized every detail of the infirmary.
Ma Manjiang would probably be camping his body so the moment Han Fei logged into the game, he had to enter the infirmary, open the cupboard door and jump out of the window with Jin Sheng.
He rehearsed the steps several times in his mind, every step was precise down to the second.
Time ticked by and it was finally midnight.
After connecting all the wires, Han Fei put on the gaming helmet.
Blood Descent!
Once the system notification rang out, Han Fei's body moved to the right.
A stinging stench of decay, a chilling curse, a chill that threatened to freeze his fingers, multiple sensations rushed at him at the same time!
Without any hesitation, he kicked open the infirmary door like he had rehearsed in his mind.
He charged at the cupboard that stored the medicine. Since most of the medicine could not be exposed to sunlight, the cupboard was placed at the innermost corner of the room.
Almost at the same time Han Fei rushed into the infirmary, several blood red arms slammed into the spot where he appeared, creating several loud bangs.
Blood splattered everywhere. Han Fei knew there was something behind him but he did not dare turn around.
For the current him, every second was extremely precious!
His body shot out like an arrow. Before the second round of attack, Han Fei reached the cupboard at the innermost corner of the infirmary.
He grabbed the cupboard door and yanked it open!
'Jin Sheng!'
Han Fei was gambling with his life, he had no other choice.
The black cupboard door was pushed open. When Han Fei peered into the cupboard, the robotic voice rang in his mind.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've obtained Grade G Cursed Object — Jin Sheng's Exercise Book. You've triggered Grade F Manager Mission — Yi Ming Private Academy's Patrolling Teacher.
"Yi Ming Private Academy's Patrolling Teacher (Grade F Manager Mission): At this school, the teachers are the children's parents. You have to care for all the students and respect their dignity. You have to ensure that the students are well-rounded. While doing your job, you have to kill those who wish to harm the students.
"Warning! Due to the large difference between the player's level and the mission, additional mission notification has been added!
"Every manager mission is based on the previous manager's memory. You will enter the manager's memory. There is no death penalty if you die here but you will lose part of your memory.
"Warning! After completing all the ghost stories at the school, the difficulty of the manager mission will be greatly reduced. Currently, the ghost stories completion rate is 4/7! "
When the notification rang in Han Fei's mind, an arm covered in wounds reached out from the cupboard.
Han Fei subconsciously grabbed the arm and then his body was dragged towards the cupboard.
He lost his balance and before he fell, he looked back.
Dragged by endless malice, Ma Manjiang who had gone berserk was standing in the corridor. Wounds opened up on his body and he roared as he charged at the cupboard.
Only with Jin Sheng's Exercise Book could the secret inside the cupboard be triggered. Ma Manjiang's expression was completely twisted. His heart was torn open and blood poured down like rain.
Just as the cupboard door was about to close, a blue butterfly wrapped in endless malice flew out from Ma Manjiang's heart. It followed Han Fei into the cupboard.
